Where do you keep all those double basses? You must have a big house!! Welcome to the forum. Hope I can still play when I`m 66...... Dave

[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rENy7MQIYJs"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rENy7MQIYJs[/url] just watch him when he moves away from the mic and starts throwing shapes with his guitarists and working the crowd...[/quote] I`m sure the guitarist in that clip is Brian Robertson. Chainsmoked his way through that whole gig!! Must`ve been about 40 fags!! He was Scottish as was another member.... Midge Ure

You`re forgetting foot on the monitor and "machinegunning" the front row!! Oldie, but a classic metal move p.s. Also spending 3 hours doing your hair then forgetting to tune your bass as a result of said preening!! (true story) p.p.s It wasn`t me!

[quote name='neilb' post='111930' date='Jan 1 2008, 07:33 PM']Beauty (and what constitutes porn for that matter), is in the eye of the beholder. You ask for views - to me that is about as "porn" as Anne Widdicombe pleasuring herself. Ive always disliked Gibson style basses. Im sure someone here will give a differing view.[/quote] I dont like Gibson style basses either but I quite like this!. Fancied one of these but I`m a fairly big guy and decided it would look like a eukelele on me. How about some shots of your Aerodyne Neil and we can have a BASS OFF!!

[quote name='Subthumper' post='112645' date='Jan 2 2008, 11:07 PM']Yup thats it.I'm struggling with the authenticity of just about all of it.I did'nt dare look at his demo vid though someone did ask for a transcription of the solo.haha.Might ask him some silly questions though.[/quote] Beat you to it mate! It was me!! Look at the ebay links thread.....

[quote name='6stringbassist' post='111632' date='Dec 31 2007, 09:19 PM']Woooh, I was just fool enough to click play, that is truly dreadful.[/quote] I asked him for the bass tab of his solo..... he`s put the question on the listing!! Excellent!!

[quote name='charic' post='111621' date='Dec 31 2007, 08:33 PM']Even when working as a sound engineer i have encountered sum engineers which are... just rude. For example being told to F off becuase i asked him to make the lead guitar louder than the rhythm guitar.. He did NOT get a pint![/quote] And you took that? Next time that happens...ask him if he fancies eating your bass?

[quote name='sgt-pluck' post='111406' date='Dec 31 2007, 11:47 AM']At least two of those are in my 'watch, and might actually bid' list [/quote] Same here.... Quite interested in the arbiter if it doesn`t go for stupid cash!!

[quote name='ashevans09' post='111272' date='Dec 31 2007, 01:53 AM']Yes! It's damn annoying - I used to barely be able to hear myself and I'd get similar comments from people there...so now I get my bassist friend to run sound Good thing he's the techy type [/quote] Buy them a pint!! Works for me everytime!!

[quote name='Rumple' post='110940' date='Dec 30 2007, 01:40 PM']What a nightmare, fingers crossed your gear turns up undamaged. R.[/quote] Because of the specialised nature of the gear...I reckon it`s either on it`s way North or South. A friend of mine had all his bands stuff stolen (in Edinburgh) a few years ago and it turned up in London. Hope you get all your gear back mate

I met my wife through being a bassplayer so it`s not all good!! Welcome to the forum! Dave

Item number: 220187630166 Not my bag but one of you guys might go for it.......

[quote name='tonybassplayer' post='109700' date='Dec 26 2007, 10:51 PM']Lots of popular songs but strangely very few that I have done so I will pick and choose the ones to audition with and leave the others until I am in the band ( or not lol ) Black dog Whole lotta love }Led zeppelin Since i've been loving you Good times roll Fire }Jimi Hendrix Back in black Riff raff }Acdc Hell ain't a bad place to be Radar love }Golden earring Cos i luv ya }Slade Ball and chain Move over }Janis Joplin Come together }Beatles Need your love so bad }Fleetwood mac For what it's worth }Buffalo Springfield The letter }Joe Cocker The ocean I can't quit you babe }Led zeppelin[/quote] Learn them all!! That way it`ll be a band practise not an audition!!

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='107745' date='Dec 21 2007, 05:02 PM']Yes, lovely sound, although I liked the original bass player better... Stuart Zender, was it? What basses did he play?[/quote] It was a Warwick Streamer stage 1 fretless (I think) It was for sale on ebay last year. The guy selling it was a really sad hangeron with a bad attitude. Suffice to say it didn`t sell

[quote name='Fretless Eric' post='99371' date='Dec 5 2007, 09:26 AM']On several occasions I've met one of my long time favourite Melbourne music chaps, Joe Camilleri and still harbour a wish to play with him in some way; I'm not giving up on this one.[/quote] Hello Mate. I recorded a blues album in Joe`s studio in 96. Really nice guy.... Had a crappy Jazz that wasn`t up to much so I asked if I could use his Danelectro longhorn. Took me to a cupboard full of basses and told me to help myself! Kid in a sweetie shop or what? A drummer mate of mine is looking for a band in Adelaide if you have any connections there he`d appreciate it! Dave

Hello from Edinburgh. We made Fife by rowing all the mad people over the Forth and letting them go!!
